Thread tidied up.

We already have other threads where the moral aspects of speeding are discussed, and the high horse "jokes" and images are tired. So very tired...

Please keep this thread on-topic an relevant to the original post.

I got one in March at R132, TOWNPARKS, Dundalk. I've asked about 20 people from the area if they know where it is and no one does.

Do the Gardaí a have special code name for certain areas? Townparks isnt a place as far as any of us can make out.

They have to use the correct townland in any notice. Get a map out and check the exact name. If they are wrong you have them.

Our man in Havana

The law of the land. They have to specify the exact townland. That ain't too hard for them surely?

What baffles me, is that the R132 starts at the large Xerox junction in Dundalk and leads all the way to Swords. However none of the stretch of the R132 I was on that night (the Dundalk end) is lower than 60kph, yet I was done for 59kph in a 50kph zone.

Not only that, there is a Townparks area in Dundalk, but its a good 3 miles from the R132 road. To this day, I have no idea where the van was as the location given is a load of tripe. Any thoughts?

The address given was R132, Townparks, Dundalk.

Common law that has been settled over the years. How do you propose they tell you? I know you have moral views but morals have no place in a court of law. Courts are only concerned with laws not moral views. The state has an obligation to get it right. There is a certain judge in the Midlands takes a very dim view of Gardai making elementary mistakes and dismisses cases on a regular basis for such defects in paperwork.

Get a map. I suggest the 6 inch map and see what townland it is.

Our man in Havana

Common law is not written down, it is formed by various cases over the years.

There is no such thing in Ireland as Common Law. There is precident law but that has to be in tandum with enacted legislation.

You must not have asked anybody from Dundalk!
Townparks is well known. It is the townland bordered by the Fairgreen to the North, Jocelyn St to the South, Clanbrassil St to the West and the By Pass to the East. It's a large area that oncludes Chapel St and St mary's Rd.

As far as I know the R132 technically passes through portions of the town where street names usually take over.

Voodoomelon

As I said, I know that area, that is indeed Townparks. But the R132 starts at Xerox and on down to Dunleer and so on. Townparks is no where near the R132? In fact its nearly 3.5km away.

There's an awful lot of rubbish being posted here...

If there is an error on your FPN, go to court, relevant Guard will ask to amend, the beak will normally comply, job done.

Pay yer bill and learn yer lesson.

Not when you allow the Garda to read out the wrong location under oath. You can always appeal to the circuit.

What has made Ireland great! Ned Flanders would be proud. If you were in a similar situation, would you pay? I thought not.

Townparks is the area of town around(ish) the Castletown River. Anwhere from Mountpleasant to Fatima, to Seatown, to The Fairgreen could be considered Townparks.

EDIT: If you google R132 Townparks, there is plenty of results with them in the same sentence in regards to road closures etc. A lot of roads are called Street names on maps, whereas the actual road name could be R132

I told him that. The R132 does pass through town. But he seems to want to ignore that fact. His loss!

Voodoomelon

I'm not ignoring anything, show me a 50kph stretch on the R132 and where the R132 passes through Townparks and i'll be happy!

Hats off to you sir, I'd enjoy a pint in your company.
